This just seems like a great way for your government to know every single thing you do online.

You could make it so that the government doesn’t know who’s requesting it.

What do you mean by government suppression? The government suppressing entities, or you as the authorizing individual? EU has eIDAS, and Germany has an existing working system. A certified publisher and you with your NFC phone can confirm your age above x without disclosing any other information about your identity. It runs with sophisticated cryptographic negotiation between the three parties....

If you go look at the EUDI github there's a mention of "issuer visibility" in the overview and a red cross as the current status of it. Someone asked in an issue how this should be interpreted, and the official response was along the lines of "not implemented yet /not currently prioritized". So it's in the pipeline... so I would assume that anything you do connected to the EUDI will have zero privacy vs the government. Prnhub won't know who you are, but the government will know that you use prnhub.
